PSP Investments commits €500 mln to European credit platform
Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) has committed €500 million ($735 million) in seed capital to a new European credit platform. The platform, created by David Allen's AlbaCore Capital, will focus on private and public credit markets where there are inefficiencies in pricing, including high yield, leveraged loans and direct lending. PSP said it may deploy more capital in partnership with AlbaCore for specific deal opportunities. PSP launched a private debt strategy in November 2015. Earlier this year, the pension fund hired Oliver Duff to lead its strategy in Europe.
